Este artículo interroga de qué manera las perspectivas interseccionales pueden contribuir a comprender las operaciones del poder en un contexto de crisis sanitaria y entregar a la vez una reflexión sobre las premisas teóricas y potencialidad política de estas perspectivas en la situación histórica que estamos viviendo. El argumento central es que los enfoques interseccionales no solamente nos ayudan a entender el impacto diferenciador de las políticas sanitarias sobre las desigualdades estructurales que conforman el orden social sino que también nos permiten identificar de que forma(s) este orden puede ser transgredido, resistido y negociado en una situación de crisis.

This chapter examines social mobilisations around feminist politics and antiracism deployed in a general context of neoliberal reforms in Sweden. It compares feminist collective mobilizations and networking during late 1900s with later antiracist mobilizations, and relates these to the transformation of stances against racism into diversity policies. In so doing the chapter argues for intersectional perspectives as a way out of the limitations of earlier theorizations about race and gender. It suggests that the radical potential of intersectional political strategies can be realised through a critical analysis that anchors issues of identity and subjectivity in a logic of capitalist exploitation. A conceptualization of capitalism that transcends its neoliberal form and instead also takes into account its historical constitution in the (post)colonial world is a necessary requirement for this. Keywords: neoliberalism, social mobilisation, feminist politics, antiracism, diversity policies

Market adaptation, fragmentation and precariousness have been widely documented as problematic features of knowledge production processes in the university. This article follows an undercurrent of critical scholarship to explore how paths of resistance can be opened up by researching otherwise. The article builds on autoethnographic notes from a collective and non-funded research project aimed at gathering in situ narratives from people who experienced the 2013 Stockholm Riots. The research strategy behind this project, its organization as well as its results and reception, is here used as a point of departure to scrutinize the conditions of the possibility of critical knowledge production. The article draws attention to a critical place for doing research – in the cracks of the university – which arguably complicates the academic–public divide and keeps open discursive spaces during troubling moments of closure.

While wage labor has been celebrated as a means of women’s emancipation within Swedish gender equality policy, unequal workplaces, the prevalence of sexual harassment, precarious working conditions, and work-related health issues indicate that wage labor also entails serious problems for many women. This article examines how unstable working conditions and work organizations built on precarious labor and flexible staffing strategies impact women’ s well-being. Through feminist intersectional perspectives on social reproduction, the analysis sheds light on the risks posed by current work models to workers’ health, work capacity and liveability. The article is based on survey responses among retail workers. Their responses show that working life in retail is characterized not only by precarious employment conditions but also by invasive staffing strategies. The consequences are precarious livelihoods, stress, and limited possibilities to leisure time and social relationships. The lack of opportunities to recover highlights how workers’ bodies bear the brunt of companies’ pursuit of precarization. Building on theories of social reproduction and an analysis of working conditions in retail, we call for a deeper examination of the role of wage labor in feminist strategies.

The presence of Swedish names in the Patagonian landscapes reveals early connections between Chile and Sweden that call for further exploration. Taking as its starting point the travelogues of the Swedish explorer Otto Nordenskjöld who visited these regions at the end of the 19th century, this article analyzes the nature of these connections from a postcolonial perspective, emphasizing the author’s academic tradition and his position in the geopolitics of knowledge. From this point of view, it is argued that the Nordenskjöld expedition and his account of this region are inscribed in a domination project that not only include the (re)naming of places and the erasure of ancestral memories, but is also closely connected to the taxonomist tradition of scientific racism in Sweden. The collection of human remains and the appropriation of indigenous artefacts to be exhibited, examined and commercialized as racialized items in Sweden highlight problematic linkages between the expedition of Nordenskjöld and the colonization of Patagonia and Tierra del Fuego.

While literature on memory and dictatorship in Latin America is extensive and narratives departing from the memories of children are evolving, the (gendered) intergenerational processes at the core of the experience of military terror, from the specific location of the diaspora, have so far been marginal in both research and in public debates. What is the language through which collective experiences of violence and political persecution are told to the next generation in diaspora contexts? What does it mean to articulate narratives from the dictatorship in Chile with memories emerging from the diaspora located in Sweden? This understanding is a vital point of departure in our study of young female adults whose parents came to Sweden after the Pinochet military takeover, a group that we here refer to as the daughters of the Chilean diaspora in Sweden.

This article examines how intersectional perspectives can contribute to a deeper understanding of the operations of power in a context of sanitary crisis while delivering a reflection on the theoretical premises and political potential of these perspectives in the historic situation we are experiencing. The central argument is that intersectional approaches not only help us understand the differentiating impact of sanitary measures on the structural inequalities that construct the social order, but they also allow us to identify how this order can be transgressed, resisted and negotiated in a crisis situation.
